Mingmen Family

Chapter 67 How are the shares divided?
After she transmigrated, Ye Hongchang was in the capital, and later he was injured and stayed in Dafang's house.Although Ye Yaming went to visit him with her sisters and met him a few times later, she hadn't had the chance to get to know Ye Hongchang deeply, and she didn't know what kind of person this heir of the Ye family was.

Ye Hongchang thought for a while and asked, "That's all he said? Didn't he mention anything about him, the court or even the prince?"

Ye Chongming shook his head: "I didn't say anything. Most of the situation in Mr. Lu's family was mentioned by Mr. Qi. That Mr. Lu doesn't seem like a talkative personality. When Mr. Qi asked him, he only said a few words about the situation at home. Not much to say."

"Even if it's a stepmother, it's still a mother. It's inconvenient for him to say more." Ye Hongchang said.

Ye Chongming nodded, and said to the eldest son: "I also want to know what you care about. I made some indirect remarks, and both of them mentioned it. It seems that Mr. Lu's tea business is really just because he wants to start a business." .”

Ye Hongchang breathed a sigh of relief: "That's the best thing."

As an ordinary citizen, Ye Hongchang was also extremely afraid and resistant to being involved in court battles and disputes for the heir apparent.It would be great if the cooperation between Lu Guanyi and the Ye family had nothing to do with court battles or the crown prince.

Seeing that the eldest son had nothing to say, and the grandson Ye Jiaxing was the same as before, just listening without any comments or suggestions, Ye Chongming turned his head to Ye Yaming and said, "Is there anything you want to say, Minger?"

Ye Yaming said: "Grandfather can send someone to check the house that Mr. Lu lives in. Is the house an old house that the Lu family bought before? Or is it Mrs. Qi's dowry? Or is it Mr. Lu's new house? What if it was bought recently? Yes, maybe we'll find something."

Ye Chongming's eyes lit up, he patted the table and said, "That's right."

The Ye family's house is in the same row as Lu Guanyi's house, not far away.Ye Chongming naturally knew the price of this kind of house very well.

The Ye family's house consists of three courtyards plus a garden, worth 5 taels of silver.As for Lu Guanyi's place, it was close to the yamen, and Ye Yaming, who had heard it before, said that it was very spacious inside, and the pavilions and pavilions were much more exquisite than Ye's house, and the value was at least 8 taels or even higher.

Even if Marquis Xuanwu's mansion is rich, but the stepmother is in charge, it is impossible for Marquis Xuanwu's mansion to give so much money to Lu Guanyi; even if it is given to Lu Guanyi, it is impossible for him to spend such a large amount of money to buy a house all at once. And there is still money left to start the tea business.

He is alone, with a few servants, no family members and a large number of servants, why buy such a big house?
The only explanation is that the money was invested by the prince, or that the house belonged to the prince's faction.

"Whether he has anything to do with Chaotang or not, our family is cooperating with him anyway?" Ye Yaming asked.

"Yes." Ye Chongming said, "There is also the prefect's family. The third son of the prefect also plans to take a share and do tea business with us."

Hearing this, Ye Hongchang was puzzled: "Will the third son not take the imperial examination?"

Their Ye family is a merchant and cannot take the imperial examination, otherwise the status of merchants would not be so low, and the Ye family always wanted to marry a scholar.

But since the magistrate of Qi can be a magistrate, he is naturally a Jinshi.His son Qi Ji was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he should be at the right age to study hard and take the imperial examination.

Why did the Qi family not let him concentrate on studying at home, but instead let him go into business?

Ye Chongming's lifelong obsession is to have a Jinshi backer in his family, and he is more concerned about this issue than Ye Hongchang.

He said: "I have asked, the eldest son of the Qi family is a Jinshi, and the second son is a juren. The third son, he said that he was born prematurely, and he was sick every day when he was a child. His grandmother did not allow his parents to force him to study. He is not smart himself, and he is not expected to study, so he only studied in the school for a few years, and his family did not want him to take the imperial examination."

When he said this, the members of the Ye family could understand.

Although everyone has not participated in the imperial examination, but because of Song Yifeng's existence, they still have a better understanding of the situation of the imperial examination.

The county examination was fine, but the township examination and general examination consisted of three consecutive exams, each of which lasted three days. During these three days, they couldn't eat well or sleep well. A group of people ate, drank and slept in it, and one could imagine the pickled smell.But in this kind of environment, I have to write essays nervously, and everyone's face is pale after coming out of the examination room.

When Song Yifeng took the county and township exams, the Ye family sent people to take care of them. Hearing from the steward's entourage, many people fell ill after leaving the township exam room.Some serious ones really died.

This is not counting the usual head hanging beams and awls stabbing the thighs.

Anyway, ten years of cold window, not a good body really can't bear it.The Qi family already has an eldest son to support the appearance, and the second son also has hope.When it was the turn of the younger son who was in poor health, he just let him go.

"Then how many shares do they own? How many shares do we own?" Ye Yaming brought back the topic.

This is the most critical.As for Qi Ji's participation in this transaction, it is very likely that he participated to help Lu Guanyi take up the shares.If their combined shares are higher than the Ye family's, then the Ye family will be passive.

However, the Ye family holds the secret recipe for making tea, and her cheap father Ye Hongsheng is the master of the golden tongue work. As a time traveler, she can create many new teas. Even if the Ye family holds a small share, it is not that they have no right to speak.

She wants to know whether Lu Guanyi is a greedy person, which determines how much the Ye family contributes.

If the Ye family holds a small share, then forget it, Xianyu can live a good life, there is no need to contribute money and efforts for others, and you will not get much benefit.

"Mr. Lu contributed 9 taels of silver, which accounted for 3%, and Mr. Qi contributed [-] taels of silver, which accounted for [-]%. We used Jiangnan to buy the raw tea and tea recipes from gardeners to buy shares, and accounted for [-]%. Tea factories and tea houses are not counted. Included. If you want to use our tea factory for tea processing, you will also pay us for processing.”

"Of course, that's probably what it means. As for the proportion, Mr. Lu said, if we think it's unreasonable, we can discuss it again." Ye Chongming said again.

Ye Yaming nodded secretly.

This ratio is quite reasonable.

As far as she knows, the Ye family invests about 7 taels in ordering tea every year, and the profit is 3 to 3 taels.And now the income of [-] to [-] taels is not yet profitable. According to the rules of cooperation, it should belong to the income of everyone after the cooperation, but now Lu Guanyi and the others are counted into the investment of the Ye family. First of all, This approach is very generous and kind.

And even if the proceeds are included, plus the invisible assets of the tea maker and the tenant, according to Ye Yaming's calculation, it is worth about [-] taels of silver.

Now Lu Guanyi and Qi Ji invested 12 taels of silver together, but they only accounted for [-]%. This is their second place of generosity.
